It's a real ironic to
see people subjected to emotional suffering when in fact, the
injury is almost as illusionary as the relationship itself.
It begins from nothing.
Proceeded from nothing.
Therefore ended up as nothing.
All this betrayal, deceits, half truth, drama and sort are almost
as good as getting too personal with words seen on your monitor
screen. It's like trying to conjure 'something' out of 'nothing'. I
am not dismissing the fact that the internet is one tools of the
modern era to make friends - but somehow it seemed to be that both
of you have lionize the dramatic vibes of your cyber
relationship.
The man actually persuaded the lady to have a cyber relationship
with him, despite knowing that is attached. It speaks much about
his hidden intention and what his relationship (in reality) meant
to him. We all know that a cyber relationship is insubstantial -
but his act of wanting this insubstantial relationship in the first
place is a form emotional infidelity.
He puts himself in the grey area - he did not technically betray
his gf in reality, but he is definitely unstable. The interesting
thing is that he doesn't realise it himself.
When he moved and acted on from there, you see a clearer picture of
his hidden agenda. Then, he became to understand his initial
intention and trigger a conscience check.
fling=deep fling=love?
It wasn't something born out of yesterday - there was already a hidden
desire and motive beneath the facade of simple
flirting. It is so 'Neptune coated', that this
relationship seemed to exude a powerful delusional enchantment that
seemed to portray both of you of as some kind of star-crossed
lovers.
A woman desiring to be loved or a break through from her dull
routine of life.
A man desiring the life of a player or wanted a catalysis to break
his current relationship.
A relationship that is basically nothing, made to become
'something'.
I see this reinforced connection here - especially the man, who has
unconsciously unfold new chapters into this story by leading
himself (the protagonist of his own story) entirely to his
confusion. He was neither victim of his own circumstances nor
environment; it was his own freewill who wanted the taste of
it.
Princess livia: break the spell. The damage is illusional - it
cannot harm you. If you continue to dwell in this spell, the
illusionary damage will become a reality.
